Lyrics
Ten years since the station Ten years since goodbye I'm standing on your doorstep With the same old sky My heart is knocking louder Than my hand can do One ring on the doorbell And there's you Say my name, say it slow Like you used to long ago Ten years and one doorbell That's all it took Ten years and one doorbell One long look Nothing's changed and everything's new Ten years and one doorbell And I'm back to you You have gray in your laughter I have lines by my eyes We trade the stories slowly Like we're sharing pie The kettle starts to whistle The old song plays Time folds up like paper In the gold of the day Say my name, say it slow Like you used to long ago Ten years and one doorbell That's all it took Ten years and one doorbell One long look Nothing's changed and everything's new Ten years and one doorbell And I'm back to you We lost some time But look what we kept The light in the hallway The promise we left Come in, come in Stay a while Ten years and one doorbell That's all it took Ten years and one doorbell One long look Nothing's changed and everything's new Ten years and one doorbell And I'm back to you One doorbell And I'm back to you
